Daily News | Alexander Tertyshny hopes he made his dad proud with ‘dream’ week at Flyers camp
Alexander Tertyshny felt enough pain in his oblique last week that there was some uncertainty if he would be able to play in the scrimmage that concluded Flyers development camp.following his rookie season with the Flyers. Tertyshny, a defenseman like his dad, was born five months after his father’s death and only knew his dad from the VHS tapes of Flyers games he watched as a kid and the stories he heard.
Alexander grew up replaying the tapes of his dad’s games, trying to find the times his dad drew a penalty because he knew the camera would focus in on his dad’s face. He watched his dad’s first goal and his first shift. And he watched him share the ice with players like Jones, John LeClair, and Chris Therien.
“His dad would be so proud of him,” Jones said. “He’s a talented hockey player but more importantly, he’s just a terrific human being. We’ll be following closely, for sure. Just to get to know him gives you all the reasons to follow him. He’s just a really nice young man. He does have a gift. He’s a good hockey player. So we’ll keep an eye on him.”
